I've been trying to find the answer to this on my own, but I'm just not sure is I should be looking for a fuse or if my set up would not have one. A pool repair company told us we need to replace the salt chlorinator for $1200. I would like to make sure it's not a cheaper fix to buy us a few...

We have 2 bubbler and 4 deck jets. We're having our first pool party tomorrow and when I use all of the features together the pump needs to be on full speed. That puts our filter gauge at 25. Is that okay for 3-4 hours? Thanks!

We had our pool installed last year, but never used the heater. Today I turned it on from my EasyTouch panel and after a few minutes the "service heater" light came on. Any trouble shooting ideas? We had the proper gas meter installed.

I had the Mastertemp 400K installed with a new gas meter. Today I turned it on for the first time and it says "heating" for a minute then switches to service heater. Is there any troubleshooting that I can do before paying for someone to come out to look at it? We are already having a leak...

I'm trying to figure out how to fix this problem. It was just installed a month ago.

My water level got a little low and my Pentair VS Pump told me that it needed primed. I've filled the pool to a good level but the pump basket still isn't filling. I released the air from the filter. There is no valve at the main drain pipes. I have the skimmerclosed and the return open. Am...

We had someone turn on our pumps today....a pipe broke lose from one of the pumps and is shooting water out while draining the pool. How do we stop this?

My pool build nightmare continues...... My builder is now trying to charge me $200 to hook up my pump because the contract called for a 2HP VS and I bought a 3HP VS instead. Is there any reason that my pump would cost more money to hook up? They are also trying to charge up for setting the...

So, after weeks of delays in our owner build dream....we decided to go with a pool builder. It's a family company with great references and a price that is comparable to what we hoped to spend on an O/B. The only thing that I'm not sold on is the timeline for payments. The following is what...

Has anyone hit rock during excavation and if so how costly was it? Our neighborhood has big rocks underground...they stack them along the streets when building new homes. The excavator mentioned to me that he knows my area has rock and it can get expensive quick if they hit it. :(

As I begin this journey - I'd love to see how much pool other people got for their money. And how you all spent the savings by going the O/B route. I spent part of mine today ordering a 16' fiberglass slide :p

1. I have a 6' privacy fence that needs to be partially taken down for excavation. Do I need to hire someone to do that or can the excavation crew handle it? 2. Do I draw the pool outline myself prior to excavation? Thank you :)

I'm so excited to be starting an official thread with unofficial plans! Feel free to critique them. ;)

I'm looking at my county's application for a swimming pool permit and I notice that it asks multiple times for information on the pool contractor. For an owner build would I just put down "self"? Has anyone had any issues with that holding up the process of approval?

I'm working with a pool designer to finalize my plans and I'd love to hear some opinions on two things: - Would you purchase a heater for a pool in Georgia? I've also thought about just using a solar blanket in the evenings to save money. Our pool will be 36 x 18' with no spa. - Would you...

We've decided to hire someone to design our pool plans. He is asking for $1135 which includes: 2d pool plans, engineering plans (including building slide into hill) and trade specific contractor sheets for bids and building. Does this sound like a fair price? We are really trying to keep...

I live NE of Atlanta and I'm trying to get started with an owner build pool. I'm wondering what is the best way to get good pool plans? Also, I'm usually a great researcher by nature, but I've been having a hard time finding pool subs for quotes in my area. This forum is a wealth of...

I wanted to introduce myself since I'm new to this AWESOME forum. I live NE of Atlanta and I'm getting prepared for an owner build pool. Although I've had a handful of people try to talk me out of it - I'm actually excited but in need of a lot of advice. I love the under construction section...

After meeting with quite a few pool companies in the Atlanta area - we've decided to subcontract the build of our own pool. I want as much bang for my buck. Does anyone have advice on obtaining pool plans and finding local subcontractors in my area? Any advice is appreciated! We're hoping to...
